...start was even. Conductor Serge Koussevitzky came out on Boston's Symphony Hall stage last week at precisely the same moment that Leopold Stokowski appeared on the Philadelphia Academy of Music stage. Koussevitzky's entrance was dignified, unflurried. Stokowski fairly flew from the wings. But then Stokowski had a longer first lap. He had the gloomy Fourth Symphony of Finnish Jan Sibelius to get through with, whereas Koussevitzky had only a trifling piece by Corsican Henri Martelli. Stokowski's pace was brisk but with odds so against him it was not surprising that Koussevitzky was ready first...
...that a bungled attempt to castrate Kahahawai resulted in panic and murder. Another possibility was that Lawyer Darrow would claim that something occurred at the Fortescue cottage which produced in the defendants a state of temporary emotional insanity. Recalled was his success with an insanity plea in the Loeb-Leopold case when Drs.

The present Crown Prince Leopold and Crown Princess Astrid of Belgium were in the Philippine Islands last week, doubtless conceived many a notion as they were handsomely feted by new, carabao-shooting Governor General Theodore Roosevelt...
Chokopul (Conductor Leopold Stokowski) returned to his own people six weeks ago and as a souvenir of his travels he presented with the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company last week the world premiere of H. P., a "ballet-symphony" written five years ago by Carlos Chavez, the Mexican who guided him on his musical tour. Ravel's L'Heitre Espagnole served as curtain-raiser, a naughty opera concerning a clockmaker's insatiable wife, never intended for the literal English translation in which it was given. Then the curtain went up on a drop topped by the letters...
